What is this? 
An audio SPI implementation for java that uses PulseAudio as a mixer 
(so as a bonus you get all of the ear candy that PulseAudio provides)

How To Build?

  autoreconf && ./configure && ant && make

Note: Building requires PulseAudio 0.9.12 and java-devel etc..
  
How To Run the Tests?

After building, do:
  
  ant test

  (a few tests might fail; they test the networking capabilities of PulseAudio
